“…The efficiency of transport of active matter in microscopic systems is an issue of paramount importance in a number of fields of science including biology, chemistry, and logistics. Looking particularly at drug-delivery design scenarios [22], ion moving in molecular cytosol [2][3][4], percolation of aggressive acids through reactive porous media [17], the traffic of pedestrians in regions with drastically reduced visibility (e.g., in the dark or in the smoke) [10,11,24] (see also the problem of traffic of cars on single-lane highways [27]), we see that the efficiency of a medical treatment, the properties of ionic currents thorough cellular membranes, the durability of a highly permeable material, or the success of the evacuation of a crowd of humans, strongly depends on the time spent by the individual particle (colloid, ion, acid molecule, or human being) in the constraining geometry (body, molecule, fabric, or corridor).…”
